This is my journal of stuff that happens in my TA 101 class. I began this journal as part of my assignment and now, as part of my blogging craze, its made its way to blogger for the whole world to see.

Brainstorming... i feel a headache coming on

TUESDAY 15 MARCH 2008

It's actually mid-semester break and we've been called in by our Directors - Pritina and Farrah to do some brainstorming on what story we'll do. They came with the idea of us working on Hansel and Gretel, since no other group in the past years has ever done that story. We all agreed to try it out and well it's stuck.

we had to do some brainstorming in space to work out what could happen in each scene; it's stuff like: how do we introduce each character? do the characters have to be "as they are" or can we change them around? what's the moral that we want to present to the kids?

we came up with the following ideas:

1. The true story of Hansel and Gretel ~ it's not hansel and gretel, it's HAZEL AND GRETEL.
2. Since we didn't have a male actor to be Hansel, we switched it to Hazel just for fun
3. The morals of the story have to do with healthy eating... e.g. TOO MUCH CANDY IS BAD FOR YOU!

We worked out a few lines to the script but time had caught up with us, so we planned to meet again on Thursday at the TA space at 4pm for another round of script work.
